How Dan777 started their print or packaging design journey

Company name

Sweet Surrender

Overview

Dantos Wines is a virtual winery, sourcing wines from Canada and U.S. to Hong Kong and China. Dantos Wines is a Subsidiary of Dantos International Inc. which is a new global trading & import/export company. The first of two icewine brands we will be releasing is a 2008 Cabernet Franc Icewine (red). The bottle for this wine will be clear. Due to high cost of embossing this is not an option for this brand at the moment.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

Icewine is an emerging new market in China and Hong Kong. Although this product may find itself in other markets its primary destination is for Asia. Due to the high risk of icewine production, the cost is significantly higher than regular table wine and it comes in a smaller bottle (375mL) Therefore the label needs to stand out as a premium, exclusive product with a little bit of regal in the design. I cannot stress the important of first impression for the label.

I am open to new ideas as to colors. The brand is called sweet surrender. a bit of sexiness can be added to it but nothing over the top. Different patterns and shades of red can by used but again I am open to ideas. Good luck!
